I was diagnosed
in March 2009 at age 50. My PSA was 179.0 ng/ml, the cancer spread to my lymph
nodes and bones: - shoulders, ribs, spine, femurs.
I currently have a
tumor on a vertebra in my lumbar area. The doctors started me on hormone treatment
with Lupron shots every four months and Flutamide taken daily.
I currently
have not had chemotherapy or radiation. My last PSA was 0.05 in October 2009.
